He's gotten better every time out, and that's really a plus. Today, he was starting to feel comfortable (and) he looked comfortable.
boil consistent happy potential
I am happy with the personnel, ... We've got the potential to be much, much better than we showed this fall. It's going to boil down to who is most consistent day to day.
everybody excited fastball good hit knew
He hit that fastball about as good as you can hit it. When he hit it, I knew it was gone. I don't know if everybody else did, but I knew. It excited me.

He has played very well defensively at third base. He's swinging the bat well. He can add some punch.
account gives goes good himself performance proud time
He gives a good account of himself every time he goes out there. I was proud of his performance today.
enjoy game good reason trying
For some reason, we're not getting through to the players. And I know they're trying; they're trying hard. You've just got to come and play the game to enjoy and have a good time. They're not.
ahead ball breaking count threw
He was ahead in the count most of the time, and he commanded his breaking ball down. I thought he threw with confidence.

Noah Krol really didn't pitch well today. But he battled through it, and we got hits when we needed to.

I was thankful that somebody wanted me. But all things move forward....
wake
If we don't wake it up, we're going to have more of the same tomorrow.
amazing miserable offensive pitchers proud runs sixth tone within
Our pitchers set a miserable tone from the outset. We got burned. The amazing thing is we were within two runs of being run-ruled in the sixth inning. I'm really proud of our offensive team. It didn't quit, it didn't give up.
absolutely except perfect rob
Rob was perfect the whole day except for one inning. Absolutely perfect.
gave runs
I was very disappointed with Kris Johnson's (outing). I think he was a little shell-shocked when he gave runs because he pitched well in our intra-squad games.
both enthusiasm good played
We really played pretty well, frankly. There was a lot of enthusiasm on both sides, and it was a good game. I've got to be happy.
